Condensate Trap - Miele DA 2558 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation
- The exhaust ducting must not be
kinked or compressed.
- Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
- If the ducting has flaps, these must
be opened when the cooker hood is
switched on.
Remember that any constriction of
the air flow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
 If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or
a roof vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended.
 If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the ducting must be directed in
the flow direction of the flue.
 If the flue is used by several
ventilation units, the cross-section of
the flue must be large enough.
 Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the cooker hood.
 If the exhaust ducting is to run
through rooms, ceiling space etc.
there may be great variations in
temperature between the different
areas. The problem of condensation
44
will need to be addressed. The
exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.
Miele shall not accept warranty claims
for any functional defects or damage
caused by inadequate ducting.

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur.
Condensate traps for 125 mm or
150 mm ducting are available as
optional accessories.
 When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and as closely as possible above the
exhaust socket.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of air-flow.
The condensate trap will be integrated
in cooker hoods which are designed to
be connected to an external motor
(EXT/EXTA models).
